Good Morning KNOW YOUR RIGHTS Knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. - Romans 6:6 Many of our defeats on the spiritual battlefield lie largely in our ignorance of the facts. In Jesus Christ, we have the power to free ourselves from sins control and to live a new life. But many Christians dont know they have this power or are ignorant of how to appropriate the power. They think it is impossible to live a sin -free life. They have become comfortable living under Satan s control. They need to know that God through Christ has set them free from the dominion of Satan. We cannot overcome sin by saying, no, Qano, no. Gods method for overcoming sin is to know, know, know . We can say no to sin, but if we dont have the strength to do the will of God, we will always bow to sins dictates. We need to know what God has done for us in Christ, His incomparable power that is at work in us, and how to appropriate all these divine resources to live victorious lives. Often we are defeated in our day - to - day work as Christians because we dont understand what God has done for us. It is like fighting a battle without ammunition, when all the time, we had more than we could utilize in a thousand battles. We cannot overcome sins power by our mere strength or will -power. Christianity is not trying to humanly live a divine life; it is divinely living a human life. Its Gods power in us and Christ through us, fulfilling what He has called us to do. Its not imitation, but impartation. It is appropriating the divine provision that God has made for our victory. Prayer: Lord, give me a revelation of all the glorious provision YOU have made in Christ for my victory. Scriptural Reading: Romans 6:1-14
